Rahbar. The film was produced by Film Caravan. Plot summary: The
privileged village master obtained his daily needs with the help of
his superintendent by having direct tributes paid to him by the
villagers. He encouraged his daughter Monira to propose a friendship
with Farrokh. Farrokh damaged Monira's reputation by giving her a
sedative, then fled to the city. When the girl became pregnant she
told her mother about it and went to the city with the
superintendent. With lamentations she pleaded with Farrokh to save her
reputation, but Farrokh drove the girl away. Monira was planning to kill
herself, but Morad saved her. Morad, who lived with his sister Narges
and his aunt Kolsum, told Monira he was interested in her. Monira went
to Europe with her mother so she could have her child without the
people in the village seeing it. Monira and her mother returned
from Europe with a small child and Farzan, the master's nephew.
Farzan told Monira he was interested in her but she shunned him. The
master died of a heart attack and after Monira revealed she had a
baby, she married Morad.
